Very cool
Chris Keall blogs at NBR:
A group of Chinese students have created a programme that can take a simple free-hand drawn sketchy, then turn it into a photo montage using images pulled from the web.
Check it out. Now that is true innovation.

Trust the chinese to come up with this.
Here’s a few other words they could try on their application
Advertising, Someone elses IP, illegal use, lawsuit

Swampash, thankyou!
I was just about to comment the same thing.
It’s a computer ‘program’, and a radio or television “programme”, or a ‘programme’ of events for the evening.
People seem to get the two mixed up nowadays. Maybe pedantic to point out, but it’s something I notice.

Fletch & Swampash,
From Wiktionary: Programme:
My understanding is that ‘computer program’ is just an Americanisation of ‘computer programme’. Hence the quote from Wiktionary above states: “Older sources may use programme for computer code.” Much in the same way as the world has adopted the American expression for Billion, 10 to the 9th, rather than the original (English) Billion, 10 to the 12th.
